A Guide to the PROPERTY OWNERS
of
Pennsville
In
East Penn
TOWNSHIP,
CARBON COUNTY, Pennsylvania
The village of Pennsville came into being in the very early years of the 19th century. Peter & William Jacob Andreas were the first land owners; in 1809 Peter sold his land to Jacob Dinkey who erected a dwelling and a tavern which housed the area’s post office. Church services were held during the early years in the school, and in 1851 the Lutheran & German Reformed congregations built a church on land donated by Jacob Dinkey. In later years the name of the village changed to Ashfield, which is how it is known today.
